What really interests me is the essence of colour: that which first comes to mind when someone mentions the word 'red'.
I think the interpretation of a spoken 'red' would be highly context dependent.
When I think of 'red' outside of any conscious context, I associate it with heat.
Of course, in the modern U.S., there's a strong association with Republicans.
